What'll I Do With The Baby-O

歌詞

I went down to Riggso town, I met an old man and his name was Brown He said you can sleep in the shanty-o But you have to sleep with the baby-o When I got there i's froze to death And I didn't wanna smell no baby breath So I looked at him and I said by darn If you don't mind I'll sleep in the barn Night was cold and the wind did blow Smoke poured out of the shanty-o Shivered and I shook with a frostbit toe And I wished I'd slept with the baby-o Mornin came and I took me a look When I heard somebody cry sook by sook Standin on the frozen taw Qas the prettiest gal in Arkansaw I looked at her she looked at me I said young lady who might you be She said my name is Mary Jo But the old man calls me the baby-o She milked the cow and went to the shack And had a big breakfast of razorback I stood by the fire and I thawed my toe And I couldn't help lookin at the baby-o I was just about fixin to leave She said what might your handle be I held her hand and I told her right I'm the fool that slept in the barn last night!
